The Playground Legends [DJ Son, Maple Syrup, DJ Dos-A & Van Valey] decided to put together a crew mixtape to celebrate the one year anniversary of their weekly party, Gratuity. Similar to the popular Do-Over and Boiler Room parties, Gratuity entrusts talented DJs to create great moments and share the groove with all party goers in attendance. DJs are never told what to play, they are just told to have fun at all times. The result is a really unique and positive family of music lovers who come together every Thursday night at The Room, SM to dance and laugh and play Jenga and smile.

In an unrelated, related note; the very first time Pipomixes ever touched a pair of turntables was at The Room, Santa Monica. His very first song selection? 2pac's "Hit em Up" of course. Safe to say that Pipomixes was never invited back.
